Programs & Resources
iLaw
The iLaw Conference is the International Law Section’s flagship (and highly anticipated) annual event. Since the initial conference in 2002, iLaw has grown to a nationally and internationally renowned event, featuring opening and closing plenary sessions, a lunch keynote speaker, and three parallel tracks.
Board Certificaction
Board certification demonstrates a lawyer’s significant commitment to and experience in a specific field of law. Board-certified lawyers have dedicated themselves to a heightened level of excellence through character, professionalism, ethics, and credibility in the practice of law.
Vis Pre-Moot
This unique event is designed for practitioners who will step into the shoes of mock arbitrators for challenging arbitration “rounds.” Our goal? To provide practical training, foster a deeper understanding of international commercial law, and prepare students for resolving complex international business disputes.
Foreign Legal Consultant
The Florida Bar’s Foreign Legal Consultancy Rule allows a foreign attorney to be certified in Florida as a Foreign Legal Consultant (FLC) recognized to advise clients on the laws of the country in which the attorney is admitted to practice.
CLE
Continuing Legal Education consists of a set of courses that attorneys are required to complete in order to retain their legal practice license. These CLE courses ensure that lawyers remain informed about the most recent legal developments and ethical standards.
